When Nie Xi woke up again, he found himself in a place that was both familiar and loathed. It was laughable, really; no matter how much he despised it, he needed this place to survive. His gaze swept over the two figures beside him, but he didn’t see the sanitation worker. Where was that woman? She had made him so furious that he could spit blood, yet she just left him like this. Was she even human?
Yue Shi stood by the bedside, his tone flat and devoid of emotion. "You have leukemia and a nosebleed, not blood from anger. It seems there’s something wrong with your brain as well. My sister is still at work; she’ll come to see you after five."
Compared to Yue Shi's calm demeanor, Shijiu wore a look of disdain. "With a body that could die at any moment, you’re out there driving a sports car and causing trouble. I guess you don’t really want to live, do you? If you don’t want to live, find a deserted place and bury yourself. Don’t trouble others; you’ve ruined my good mood—can you afford to pay for that?"
Such sharp and rude words were exceedingly harsh for someone with a terminal illness. Nie Xi paid no mind to Shijiu's tirade, completely ignoring him as he turned to Yue Shi. "What time is it? Why hasn’t your sister come yet? She’s the one who made me so angry I got leukemia; she should take full responsibility."
Yun Shijiu slammed his hand on the table, ready to explode, but was restrained by Yue Shi. "She’ll be here soon. If you’re fine, we’ll leave first. I’ve already informed your father." With that, he pulled Yun Shijiu out of the hospital room.
The room fell silent as Nie Xi remained motionless, like an unyielding statue, staring at the door. Time passed—whether it was twenty minutes or an hour, he couldn’t tell.
A knock sounded on the door, and it seemed as if Nie Xi’s wandering soul had finally returned as he called out, "Come in."
Yun Zhi Yue entered wearing simple black pencil pants and a white shirt, carrying a thermal food container. Her face was as beautiful and cold as the moonlight, exuding a refreshing aura that didn’t feel uncomfortable at all; it was as if she were meant to be the moon in the sky—beautiful yet unattainable.
Nie Xi stared for a moment before saying, "You’ve got the wrong room."
"I’m the one who sweeps the streets," she replied.
Nie Xi smirked with a hint of pride on his face. "So you really are playing around; I knew my eyes were sharp."
Yun Zhi Yue twitched her lips slightly. "We’re not playing."
"Oh? Then you must be an actress. I don’t recognize your face; you must be an unknown."
Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and placed the food container on the bedside table before opening it. "I’m not an actress; my job is as a sanitation worker. Those two driving the sports car are my younger brothers."
Nie Xi looked Yun Zhi Yue up and down, pausing for a moment before saying, "Your two younger brothers drive hundreds of thousands worth of sports cars, and you, their biological sister, are sweeping the streets? So you’re the illegitimate daughter? After they take control of the family fortune, are they deliberately humiliating you?"
Yun Zhi Yue couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to pinch Nie Xi's cheek. "You’re writing a story, aren’t you? This plot has some logic to it. It’s not like that at all; the three of us siblings have a great relationship and there are no family feuds."
Nie Xi touched her pinched cheek, her eyes flickering. "Are you interested in me?"
Yun Zhi Yue raised an eyebrow. "Have you lost your mind? Your thoughts are so ridiculous."
Nie Xi laughed at Yun Zhi Yue's playful words, her eyes crinkling with joy. She looked like a beautifully modeled character from an anime, even more lively than before, showing no signs of illness.
However, Yun Zhi Yue felt that this laughter was hollow, devoid of any real emotion—just a mere expression.
"I’m old enough now; I can date and even sleep with my sister," Nie Xi said bluntly.
Yun Zhi Yue wasn’t offended or embarrassed by such explicit words. Instead, she served Nie Xi a bowl of fragrant bone soup. "Drink up; I bought it from outside. Their soup is really good."
